FAQ

JETem is published quarterly.  We accept submissions throughout the year. Our publication dates are January 31, April 30, July 31, and October 31.

We accept submissions on a rolling basis, but in general due to the time it takes for reviews, author edits and copyediting require submissions to be in at least 4-6 weeks prior to the publication date, otherwise they will be considered for the next publication date. Our turnaround time to authors averages 4-6 months.

JETem works hard to keep our costs down to minimize costs to our authors, however, we do charge a $150 acceptance fee to help cover costs of copy-editing, digital conversion for PMC inclusion and administration. We only charge these fees for large manuscripts (lectures, podcasts, simulations, oral boards, TBLs, small groups, workshops, curricula and innovations) and they are waived for VisualEM submissions.  None of our editors receive any form of compensation (buy down, stipend, etc) for their work on JETem. This acceptance fee is only charged once your submission has been accepted and as part of our partnership with CORD, is waived if any author is a member of CORD. JETem is also willing to waive the acceptance fee after the article has been accepted for authors who come from low income or lower middle income countries on a case by case basis.
